whoops... "We have either new with full factory warranty OR we have repack ones that come with a 60 day factory warranty. The repack ones I need a bit notice to make sure they are in stock AND best way to handle that is to get it one order as SOON as you can so if its not in stock now you have...

Hmmm...I thought I saw the "package" for about $3500 somewhere. I'll look again. At that price there must have been something missing :)... Try this link... http://sonsetmarine.com/browseproducts/ICOM-IC-M802-with-Pactor-1060-Modem-Package.html

Icom 802? Sven - Any progress in the 802 hunt? I don't have any secrets. Have you tried Hamcity online? I don't know whether they would have the whole package, though. Just a thought. I also - in my tossing and turning the other night - figured out a way to use an insulated backstay as part of...

Thanks for the nod, Loren. ALLIGATOR FOOD hasn't had much exposure - my fault - so it is sort of languishing on Amazon. I've sold maybe 30 copies so far. Not a very auspicious beginning, I'd say. I've been given a few reviews, though. Those that like it tend to love it. Those that are not so...

"Orient" was hauled out in San Diego years ago after starring in the film "Lucky Lady" with Burt Reynolds, Gene Hackman, Liza Minelli, and a young Robbie Benson. I don't think the film ever made it to VHS or DVD. There was a lot of footage of Orient. Even though the plot was silly, the movie was...

Loren - I just got around to resetting my password here. It only took a few months. I wanted to thank you for the kind remarks regarding FINGERPRINTS, even though so much time has gone by. I haven't had a lot of success with the book. I'm worthless at self promotion and that isn't likely to...

Thanks, Sven. I'm always happy to hear that people have actually read Fingerprints. There have been quite a few who have not responded. From a writer's standpoint, that's probably worse than a "it stinks" critique. Just between you and me - :egrin: - The most rewarding comments I've received...

:) I'm never sure what to say about such things. I hold both of you in such high regard, I'm honored she would even try to get through my little book. If she enjoys it, that would be a lot of icing on the cake. As for Kindle and iPad and the others, I have no clue what I'm doing. I thought...

I have the issue and I'll get it in the mail to you - just as soon as I find your address:egrin:. I'm not sure which pile it's buried under, so to speak. The new stove looks great. Let me know how it works out. I've never actually used one except for a brief stint a few years ago on that...

I have the magazine, Sven, if you'd like the whole thing. It was a good review, even mentioning 'Maverick' without the negatives. Backing down in reverse? Hmmmm...Even for Kretschmer it was an adventure. Bottom line? The E39/39B's make wonderful cruising boats, and there are a few bargains...

Personal Opinion City...The Ericson 41 is among the most beautiful of all production boats ever built. Period.;) I was aboard an F-27 on a mooring in Avalon Harbor years ago when a drop-dead gorgeous, flag-blue E-41 picked up the mooring next to us. I haven't drooled that much since my first...

Minney's in Newport Beach???

I hope you don't get flamed for buying a boat "sight unseen".:egrin: - But...I have done similar things and it's always been good. Congratulations. The Ericson 29 is a fine boat. If you like browsing through nautical stuff, don't miss Minney's in Costa Mesa. Ernie has everything you need, and...

Sven - My little book is called 'Fingerprints...a coffeehouse reader'. I think I'm more proud of the work my son did on it than what I wrote :):) - he did all the formatting and designed the cover and text. Unlike his father, he is truly talented. Anyway, the book was a long time labor of love...

Holy smokes, Sven. That sounds like a nightmare. I think it probably was, and it's a bit sobering for the armchair crowd out here. I think a lot about owning another boat. In my ignorant bliss I tend to gloss over the nights spent in similar situations. To be honest, I'd like another boat but...
